Chapter 38: Brother Qi, Do You Know This?
Although Ma Xiuying is only in her early twenties now, her state of mind has long been different.
Coupled with the later change of identity, she got rid of the childishness of a girl early, and she couldn't look like a girl in her early twenties.
In contrast, although Qi Heng was called by them one by one, he was like a child.
Sometimes Ma Xiuying also feels a little funny, Qi Heng is obviously just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, but his eldest sister wants to talk to him with respect.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
Looking at the scene in front of him, for some reason, his brother suddenly came to mind in his mind.
After her father died, only the two sisters depended on each other.
But how can this orphan and widow survive in this troubled world?
And they were not very old at that time, and they were almost starving to death.
In desperation, Ma Xiuying thought of her father's deathbed entrustment, asking them to go to Guo Zixing in Haozhou City, saying that it was his good brother.
If Guo Zixing can be found, he will naturally not starve again.
But now there are Yuan soldiers and robbers everywhere outside, and her younger brother is very young, how can she, a female doll, rush to Haozhou with her younger brother.
But taking refuge in Guo Zixing is already their last choice.
In desperation, Ma Xiuying could only desperately take her young brother to Haozhou.
But on the way, he encountered a crisis, so he could only temporarily foster his four or five-year-old brother in the home of a porcelain craftsman and go to Haozhou alone.
When she came to Haozhou, she immediately asked Guo Zixing to send someone to pick up her younger brother, but in the troubled times, the porcelain craftsman had long since disappeared.
Although Ma Xiuying also tried her best to find it, in this troubled world, where should she look for it, and where can she find it.....
"Alas, if Juntao is still here, there should be a gentleman as old....."
Ma Xiuying sighed.
Xu is Guo Zixing's funeral today, and Ma Xiuying's mood is also mixed, and she can always think of the past.
At this time, Ma Xiuying seemed to regard Qi Heng, who was teasing Zhu Biao in front of her, as her brother, and her eyes were full of memories and love.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others walked in from outside the door and happened to see this scene.
Especially when she saw Ma Xiuying's eyes looking at Qi Heng, the whole person froze in place.
It wasn't until Xu Da behind him didn't stop hitting his back that the expression on his face slowly recovered.
The movement at the door was immediately noticed by Ma Xiuying and Qi Heng, and they looked over one after another.
Seeing that it was Zhu Yuanzhang and them, Ma Xiuying quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "You guys are back." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded stupidly, but his eyes were looking at Ma Xiuying and Qi Heng.
At this time, Qi Heng also held Zhu Biao in his arms and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Superior." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he didn't notice anything unusual, especially when he looked at Qi Heng's face that was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he immediately put the worry in his heart behind.
Just entered the house.
Tang He, who followed behind, said to Zhu Yuanzhang with some incomprehension: "Big brother, I know that you are high-spirited and bright, and you don't want to compete with that Guo Tianxu, but when is it now, Guo Dashuai is no longer there, just with Guo Tianxu's wine bag and rice bag, can he lead the team?" ”
"If you want me to say, big brother, you just followed our words and gave this handsome position, wouldn't there be nothing?"
Tang He's personality is much calmer than Xu Da, but he can't figure it out.
As the brother closest to Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He really couldn't help it.
Xu Da on the side was already extremely helpless about Zhu Yuanzhang's choice every time, and he didn't want to say it, but now when he heard Tang He mention it, dissatisfaction also followed.
"That's it, big brother, you can just come down directly, those generals of the Sun Department are also obedient for the sake of your face, as long as you give an order, it is difficult for anyone else in Haozhou City to dare to oppose us."
Listening to Tang He and Xu Da's chatter, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
It wasn't until they finished speaking that they said, "Finished?" ”
Seeing that they were silent, he immediately said, "What do you know? ”
"We are the righteous sons of our father-in-law, can we compete with Guo Tianxu for the throne?"
Xu Daqiang said: "Why can't you? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at him speechlessly, then looked at Qi Heng, who did not speak, and said: "I have already discussed this matter with Engong, how can you Han Yong know about the doorway here." ”
After speaking, as if he had a heart with Qi Heng, he looked at Qi Heng with strange eyes.
As if to say: Engong, how is it, are we right?
Zhu Yuanzhang's words and eyes, Qi Heng heard and saw them.
But I didn't understand.
What does this have to do with me???
At this time, Xu Da also looked at Qi Heng suspiciously, and said, "Brother Qi, do you know this?" ”
Feeling the gaze of everyone, Qi Heng was stunned.
I know what it is.
But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident gaze, Qi Heng couldn't say that he didn't know, and guessed in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was using himself as an excuse, so he had to nod dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Xu Da and the others gave up.
"Since Brother Qi knows, then let's not worry, after all, Brother Qi, your head is different from ours, as long as it's not cheap Guo Tianxu's kid."
After Xu Da finished speaking, although Tang and Chang Yuchun and the others didn't understand what was going on, they had no choice but to give up.
"So what do we do now?"
Tang He asked.
"Wait!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of confidence, many brothers were not in such a good mood.
Ma Xiuying bumped into Guo Tianxu before, peeking at Guo Zixing's letter to King Xiaoming, and they all knew about it later.
According to Guo Tianxu's character, the letter will definitely be changed.
And with Guo Zixing's letter, the content of King Xiaoming's will can be imagined.
So the brothers are really in a bad mood.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is their head, and if Zhu Yuanzhang falls, it means that all of them fall.
If Zhu Yuanzhang can logically become the marshal in Huaixi, then their identity will naturally rise.
Besides, let them all listen to Guo Tianxu's orders in the future, and they will be worried when they think about it.
After lunch, the crowd hurried away.
Zhu Yuanzhang also needed to go out because of the affairs in the barracks.
But before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying and Qi Heng in the house, and he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Qi Heng picked up Zhu Biao from Ma Xiuying's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, you didn't go to Guo Shuai's funeral today, now go and see, go to the pillar incense, I will come and see the child." ”
Ma Xiuying's heart moved when she heard this.
"Is this good?"
Qi Heng smiled and said, "What's so bad about this, I'll play with the child for a while, and I don't want the child to go." ”
Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Ma Xiuying's face, and she said happily: "Okay, then Mr. Trouble." ”
"Sister-in-law, what are you polite to me?"
